when it broke, I tried several recompilation (of the .o file, of the whole
directory of the .o file, of the whole tree), with the same results each time.

anyway, since I cannot reproduce *today* either the issue, feel free to close
the bug

either, it's a real issue that has been fixed by one of the updates (good)
or the sequence that triggers is still unknown (but keeping the bug open will
not help here)

thanks for your time
Eric
